The in-store launches are being supported by major public relations and social media campaigns in addition to full-day experiential marketing events hosted by each store.
The theme for each of the 16 events will be built around the use of Cellmid’s proprietary évoliscope™ technology, which allows customers to assess their hair health.

Cellmid chief executive officer Maria Halasz said: “Store presence is expected to increase sales significantly from what has been a very successful online launch of the évolis® Professional products in Neiman Marcus and Soft Surroundings.
“Previous events not only generated high conversion rates, but an opportunity to train store staff and allow them to become product champions.”
